The Dodgers now have up their Fan Bobblehead Vote mechanism. Go here to check it out. There are four choices; Juan Uribe, Brian Wilson, AJ Ellis and Carl Crawford. Sadly, longtime organist Nancy Bea Hefley is left out. Boo!

Chris Olds at Beckett shares some preview pics from 2014 Topps Chrome that will come out in late August 2014. See a Puig and Jackie cards below.

“It’s a very interesting dynamic,” Colletti said. “I see a lot of
different sides to it. I don’t condone what he’s done. I don’t know if
it’s ironic, but it’s interesting to me that since the offseason began,
he’s spent a lot of time in L.A., and he’s really spent a lot of time
with kids. … He’s setting this great example and doing stuff I don’t see
many big-league players do within the community. At the same time,
there are boundaries you’ve got to stay in. Whether it’s how you drive
or other things in your life, it’s part of growing up. That’s part of
being responsible. That’s a key thing for us, and a key thing for him.”

Then he explained that I couldn’t tell his pitches apart because his
goal was late quick break, not big impressive break. The bigger the
break, the sooner the ball must start to swerve and the more
milliseconds the hitter has to react; the later the break, the less
reaction time. Deny the batter as much information — speed or type of
last-instant deviation — until it is almost too late.
